AI Is Finding Bugs Faster Than Enterprises Can Patch — Here’s What Data Security Teams Should Do

I have spent the better part of a decade building data protection products for global enterprises. Cloud DLP, CASB, SSPM, Behavior Threats, AI Access Security, ISPM, etc. The kinds of things that sit between a user, an agent, or an application and the sensitive data nobody wants to see in the wrong place. Every conversation I have had with a customer security architect this year eventually arrives at the same question. The threat landscape has clearly changed. What does that mean for the controls we already own?

This article is the analysis I have been sharing with security architects across industries who are evaluating how their data protection programs need to evolve. It is grounded in what is publicly documented, what it actually changes for enterprise data security, and where I would direct the next dollar of investment based on a decade of building these products at scale.
